After dividing the Internet contexts into three the perspectives of Internet tools, Internet platforms, and Internet resources, this paper adopts a system dynamics approach to construct a causality model and a system flow diagram of the influence of different Internet contexts on the knowledge transfer between architecture enterprises and component enterprises, and uses Vensim PLE software to simulate and conduct a sensitivity analysis of the model. The results show that the three Internet contexts, namely Internet tools, Internet platforms, and Internet resources, can promote both positive and negative knowledge transfer between architecture enterprises and component enterprises, and exhibit a steadily growing trend of promotion; Internet tools and Internet resources are more conducive to positive knowledge transfer from architecture enterprises to component enterprises, and Internet platforms have a stronger facilitation effect on the reverse knowledge transfer from the component enterprises to the architecture enterprises. Our research offers useful recommendations for businesses on how to utilize various Internet settings to promote and assist effective knowledge transfer.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/systems9040087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,16]],"date-time":"2021-12-16T02:47:36Z","timestamp":1639622856000},"page":"87","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["The Impact of Different Internet Application Contexts on Knowledge Transfer between Enterprises"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Xingong","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business, Henan University, Kaifeng 475000, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7722-991X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaokai","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business, Henan University, Kaifeng 475000, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.2307\/2232084","article-title":"Technology Transfer by Multinational Firms: The Resource Cost of Transferring Technological Know-How","volume":"87","author":"Teece","year":"1977","journal-title":"Econ.
